A year after Windows 7 reached EOL, we began running Debian with XFCE for internet facing boxes. They all run uninterrupted with zero issues, and are orders of magnitude more stable than Windows 11. The biggest bonus to me is, Linux/BSD sets up in minutes and you're done; literally done and ready for work/pleasure. Properly setting up Windows using group policy and other privacy controlling mechanisms takes five+ hours. I still use Windows 7 which was the last user friendly OS put out by Redmond; it is still a great OS when kept off the internet.
